- coryl 16y agoA million dollars isn't cool. You know what's cool? A BILLION dollars.
- mkramlich 16y agoseconded. awesome. also: "The water under the Golden Gate bridge is cold, Mark."
- stevenp 16y agoI couldn't agree more. It's the only movie I've ever seen that references "wget", and the entire time as I sat there watching the early Facebook geeks write code, I kept thinking about how I should be at home working on my startup instead of sitting at the movies.
- db42 16y agowhat about references of "nmap" in Matrix
- dmitri1981 16y agoAm I the only one who found the film a bit disappointing given all the hype? While the first half was pretty cool and I really enjoyed the Facemash hacking scene, the second half felt like it was just endless squabbling over who owns what. Not exactly inspiring.
- iuguy 16y agoI've found that it's generally best to ignore hype for any film. If you go into a reasonably good film with low expectations, you'll like it. Walk into an incredible film with low expectations and you'll love it.
- paraschopra 16y agoHow can you set low expectations once you have read in the reviews that it is indeed good? You can't undo that, can you?
- iuguy 16y agoYes you can. If you see reviews you should take them with a pinch of salt - there's a world of difference between Mark Kermode saying something's good and Nuts Magazine saying something's good. You can avoid reviews, get a rough idea based on the actors and crew members' other work and a synopsis then decide if it warrants a visit to the cinema. You can go out and read the book the film might be based on. For example, Black Swan is a film coming out by Darren Aronofsky that's coming out later this year. It stars Natalie Portman as a promising young ballet dancer that's slowly turning into a swan. It's an interesting premise, Aronofsky did Requiem for a Dream, the Fountain and more recently The Wrestler. As well as Natalie Portman it has Vincent Cassel, both of whom I've loved in films before. This tells me that the film is probably worth seeing at the cinema - it may or may not be good but I can go in regardless of expectations. Unless I hear it's pretty awful then that's what I'm likely to do.
- ippisl 16y agosound like an idea for a movie site.gives relatively negative reviews to sites , but still recommends you movies according to your taste , that you'll probably like.
- danbmil99 16y ago> the second half felt like it was just endless squabbling over who owns what. Sounds like a typical startup. The funny part is this often happens while the company is quickly spiraling down to zero value.
- qtcoder 16y agowe don't now 'what it is' or 'what it will be' or 'whether is makes any business at all', we are sure of just one thing that 'it is cool to use', lets code,test and enhance it - Inspired by The Social Network
- harscoat 16y ago"I am an entrepreneur." - Sean Parker to the girl he just slept with
- edanm 16y ago"You mean you're unemployed" - her answer. You won't believe the number of times I've had this exact conversation with people! (Although most people are too nice to call me unemployed outright)
- ammarkalim 16y ago"oh my gosh, i just slept with Sean Parker!"
- db42 16y agoI'd prefer reading the book "The Accidental billionaire" instead of watching the movie "The social Network".
- dansingerman 16y agoFor me this was one case where the movie was far better than the book. The movie was very good, and the book, was, like, written, really badly. (and I was a fan of Mezrich's Bringing Down the House)
